Many self taught drummers learn bad habits which become very difficult to break as they get older. We will break these habits if needed. For the beginner, we will spend the first two or three lessons working on proper grip and motion. Once that is mastered, we will use the Maroni book and use the first page of Stick Control. I would like to supplement that with a John Wooton play along book which takes the boredom out of Stick Control. Read More

My teaching experience dates back to when I was 16 years old and started teaching students from the church that I played piano at. I've been teaching full time since I was 25 years old, and I love teaching. I believe students progress faster when they are learning to play their favorite songs, and are having fun with learning to play the piano. I also encourage students to learn to improvise and compose their own music by teaching them composition, harmony, rhythm, and practicing to backing tracks. Read More

I emphasize positive, fun, joyful learning and I use multimedia to make the lesson more colorful and modern. I have one foot in the traditional "Old School" and one in cutting edge learning techniques. I completely tailor each person's lesson plans to emphasize the strengths of the student. Some people learn through hearing, while others need to learn through touch and coordination. Those with shorter attention spans enjoy faster rotation through activities, which is effective for children as young as three years of age. Read More

I will push my singers to stand on their own two feet as musicians. Under my instruction, they will obtain the musical foundation necessary to make their lives easier when the gig comes along. They will have the sight reading, transcription, and ear training skills necessary to move foreward into professional settings. I want them to be confident in leading a band, counting off, reading the music in front of them, and picking up harmony on the spot. Read More

For nearly ten years, I have been teaching private music lessons. However, throughout my experiences as a student and a performer, my teaching continues to grow and develop both in and out of the music classroom. With a diverse music education background including music directing musicals, vocal coaching, performing with vocal jazz ensembles, directing choirs, and performing in operas, I strive to share my musical diversity with my students. I also have a strong passion for world music in which I am constantly researching and discovering. Read More
